'96 Civic CX HB

[AE86ITA]

Anyone know if a '96 Civic CX Hatchback has been raced in IT before? Would like to know the class and weight if ITA.

Thanks,

I don't have the 09' GCR in front of me but I would swear that the cx woudl nto be an "A" car. I don't even see it classes in the 08' GCR I have here at the office, but I maybe missing it.

I don't believe that there is a classification for the 96-00 Civic hatch (EK) at all currently. there are classifications for the EX (ITA) and Si (ITS) coupes in that generation, but neither came in the 3-door body style. If the DX is classified - say in ITB, then you could convert the car to DX and run there (no more VIN rule). or you could request that the car be classified (likely in ITC or IT. As a point of reference, the 92-95 (EG) Civic CX is classed in ITC.

Is it just me, or is this a little hard to decipher?

First question is how (or if) the CX is any different than a DX, in terms of what we care about for classing/spec'ing in IT.

Second would be either asking for the CX to be listed (if it is substantively different) OR worrying about whether the DX is listed - or listed correctly. Any or all of these things could be initiated by a letter to the club racing office with SPECIFIC requests to do what you want done. This really needs to be accompanied by documentation sufficient for the ITAC to make a decision, including all of the kinds of information you see in the ITCS, explanations of changes during the generation production run, comparisons with similar/related models, etc.
